GHK-Cu
Over time, skin changes in ways that can be hard to describe. You may notice that your skin does not look or feel the way it used to, fine lines, slower recovery, or changes in skin texture that no longer reflect how you feel. Many products promise support, but it is often unclear which ingredients actually matter or how to use them in a way that makes sense.
RestartRX uses a provider-reviewed plan to bring structure and clarity to topical use. Instead of guessing which product to try next, you follow a consistent routine guided by a licensed provider.

How It Works
GHK-Cu is a copper peptide found naturally in the body. It is involved in normal skin processes and plays a role in tissue repair, collagen formation, and the body's natural healing response. Levels of GHK-Cu decline with age, which has been associated with changes in skin appearance and recovery.
When used topically, GHK-Cu is applied directly to the skin as part of your skin care routine. It is designed to support the skin's natural environment rather than relying on multiple unmonitored
products.
Some patients choose this when they want a more controlled and simplified way to use a topical product without guessing how to combine different options.
How It’s Used
GHK-Cu is applied directly to the skin in a measured amount as part of a daily routine.
Your provider will confirm the specific amount and application area based on your plan. Consistency is key to seeing how your skin responds over time.
Why This Approach Works
RestartRX® focuses on clarity instead of trial-and-error. Many people try multiple topical products without a clear plan, which can make it difficult to know what to continue or adjust. A provider-guided approach creates a more consistent way to use topical products as part of a defined routine.
